Google Pay announced partnerships with fintech firms Affirm and Zip to add a buy now, pay later (BNPL) feature as a checkout option for online shoppers in the U.S. starting next year.

In January, Google Pay will partner with Zip for a pilot test using the Zip Pay-In-4 service as an option for shoppers. In the first quarter of 2024, Google will partner with Affirm to launch Affirm Pay in 4 as a monthly payment option for shoppers.
